The Q'eswachaka bridge (woven bridge-rope bridge) is an example of Inca engineering, which is maintained to this day through a renewal ritual that is part of customs and traditions transmitted over time. The research consisted of obtaining mechanical properties of the type of ropes of the Q'eswachaka bridge, such as maximum stress, deformation and modulus of elasticity through stress-strain curves, as well as describing the behavior of the ropes obtained from tensile tests. For this purpose, in the present study, ropes based on Q'oya fiber (festuca dolichopylla) were made on a full scale of the Q'eswa type in humid (partially and completely humid) and dry conditions; and at a 1:4 scale for Maqui and Duro type ropes in dry conditions. As part of the study process, there were stages that included moisture loading and unloading tests, linear density and geometric characterization that provided data prior to the tensile tests. From the latter, magnitude data for the stress (MPa, N/ tex) and deformation (mm/mm, %). Examining the results achieved for the Q'eswa type rope, it was observed that ropes with the presence of humidity exhibit greater ductility, since higher deformations were recorded compared to those in dry condition; Likewise, at 5% significance in terms of the maximum stresses in MPa, no significant variation was evident; however, for the maximum stresses in N/tex, a decrease was observed with a higher moisture content. In relation to the Maqui and Duro type ropes, greater total deformations were recorded, while the maximum stress levels were lower compared to the Q'eswa ropes. Regarding the elasticity modulus, a significantly higher value was observed for Q'eswa in dry condition compared to Q'eswas in wet condition, as well as compared to Maqui and Duro. Based on the evaluation of the stress-strain curves, it is established that hardening and softening phenomena are manifested. These phenomena are repeated in accordance with the number of strands present in the rope.
